Hearses to converge on The Diamond

LAKE ELSINORE -- Members of the Phantom Coach Hearse Club will
caravan through Lake Elsinore on Saturday en route to The Diamond,
where they will showcase their vehicles.

The Phantom Coach Hearse Club is a group with an interest in
service cars -- classic hearses, ambulances and other "first on the
scene" coaches.

Members will gather at the Lake Elsinore home of a member for a
barbecue, meeting and drawing, with the winner's name picked out of
a coffin.

They will leave around 5 p.m. for a lakeside cruise and stop for
a group photo before arriving at The Diamond by 6 p.m. After a
parade on the field, the cars will be on display in Lot B.

Formed in 1994, the Phantom Coach Hearse Club is based in Los
Angeles, but includes more than 180 members worldwide. Originally a
social club whose members shared a common fascination for hearses,
the group has evolved into more of a car club, traveling around the
world showing off members' restored, classic coaches.

For information about the Phantom Coach Hearse Club, call K.A.
Aguilar at 201-1794 or visit www.phantomcoaches.org.

The Storm will play the San Jose Giants at 7:05 p.m. For ticket
